Summer is coming to a close and Fall is right around the corner.

We hope you had a wonderful Summer and are ready to welcome Fall.

We want to thank you, our clients, for your continued support and faith in our services that have helped you get out of pain and educated you on how to stay out of pain.

For the past 7 months we have been providing a new service, the Return Client Overhaul Tune-Up. The Return Client Overhaul Tune-Up is a 2-hour massage that provides an intake, orthopedic assessment, bodywork, and reassessment. This longer session will provide more time for detailed body-work, while giving your body the tune-up it deserves!

Our Body Mechanics, Gary Mendelson, and Laura A. Perez are continuing to follow all CDC guidelines, and are ready to assist you.

Covid-19 is back on the rise again and we will continue to follow our pre-screening, masking, sanitation, and ventilation procedures to keep our clients and staff safe.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Warm regards,

The Massage Garage

Meet Gary!

He is a massage therapist with a background unlike that of any other massage therapist. He was a professional theater artist for 25 years, as a dancer, singer and actor who performed in many major Broadway productions.

During his two years in CATS, his body sustained many injuries, and the production company always provided therapeutic massage to the cast as needed. He was awed and amazed that massage therapy could get him out of pain and back to work the same day. That’s when the seed was planted to heal others through touch. But it would still be a few more years until he rode that dream to reality. He continued his acting career, and between show stints, opened and built a successful chain of candle stores in New York City.

Having sold the candle stores, Gary moved to San Francisco and his ultimate dream of healing and helping people through touch came to fruition. Since 2009 he has been a California Certified and Licensed Advanced Neuromuscular Therapist and Health Educator, a “body mechanic”, as he calls himself.

Gary’s therapeutic massage techniques encompass the nervous system and muscular systems together. He isolates where the pain is coming from, and then uses several massage modalities to re-educate and realign the muscle fibers to go back to their normal position. He also retrains the nerve movements of the brain to actually get rid of the pain. Gary’s massage techniques are also a great complement to physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, and other healing systems.
